So,basically,I had this idea.What it talks about?It's very simple,it talks about the Sea Republics,their trade,their fighting,and so on.You can be an existing Sea Republic(Amalfi,Venice,Genoa,Pisa,Ragusa,Ancona,Trani)or create one from scratch,it can also be a non-Italian state,it isn't a problem for me.It is imperative that the created state is,anyway,an Aristochratic Republic,Duchy or Kingdom and that it starts from just one city bordering the sea.The starting year is 1000,and the world will be more or less like this
very,very approximate map.The game is a WIP,very much WIP.As of now,I only have in mind the military system,wich will be very simple,it'll take in consideration:
-Damage
-Ranged attack(it's 0 if the unit doesn't has a bow or a crossbow)
-Speed
-Size(the number of men in a unit)
-Cost
-Stamina(basically,how long can a unit run before tiring himself)
-Morale
the minimum point is 0,the maximum being 4
the sheet of your average berber tribesman could very well be
-damage 2
-ranged attack 0
-speed 2
-size 200
-cost 300 credits
-stamina 3
-Morale 3
just an example.I need someone to help me to invent the trade system,etc.I got in mind a system of trade goods that can be found in some determined regions,but i'll have to sleep on it,since I got school tomorrow.
In order to enter the game,you need to present yourself with the following sheet:
-Nation
-Ruler
-Capital
-Culture
-Language
very simple,I'll take Amalfi,to make you see,and the sheet could look like this
-Nation Ducatus Amalphitanus
-Ruler Manso I
-Capital Amalfi
-Culture Greek(I know they were many in the city)
-Language Latin
very simple.
If you're interested,say it.I think it could turn out into a very good game,who knows,it can even last much time.Game,as said before,is a WIP,I need ideas about trade,for example,and for the cost and recruitment of the soldiers.Suggestions are not welcome,but encouraged and needed.Thanks for the attention.
I'm also putting up a list of non-playable nations with who,anyway,the player can interact(making wars with them,trading with them,buying land from them,or even allying with them)
list is the following
-Eastern Roman Empire
-Emirate of Sicily
-Emirate of Cordoba
-Principality of Salerno
-Papal State
-Kingdom of Italy (it is the Lombard kingdom in northern Italy,part of the HRE)
-County of Barcelona
-Bulgarian Empire
-Kingdom of Croatia
-Fatimid Caliphate
-Hamdamid Emirate
-Idrisid Emirate of Morocco
-Kingdom of Burgundy
-Kingdom of France
-Kingdom of England
-Alba(Scotland)
-Denmark
-Sweden
-Germany
-Leòn
-Castille
Player nations as of now:
-me Duchy of Amalfi under Manso I
-"Pericles of Athens" of Venice under Peter II Orseolo
-"Bjorn" of Genoa under Dante I Barbarossa
-Ruire of Galway under Conchobar I Sinnach mac Ruadrí
UPDATE:I updated the land soldiers system.Now I need suggestions for the mercenaries,the recruiting system,trade and the ship system(wich could mirror the soldier system,with adapted statistics).
